This is soo much needed!
by Thomas Zander on Wednesday 15/Aug/2007, @15:41

I know there is a big market for things like harddisk recorders already, but honestly if you actually tried the offers out there it just makes you cry. My dad bought one a year ago after he saw me use a self-build one. And I highly admire his persistence to use it since the thing drives me crazy. Its got a user interface that is really really sad.

So, having an open source software stack so companies can include that instead of pushing their own sad piece of quickly-manufactured software is a great prospect IMO.

Go libre-stuff, go!

Yes, the market seems quite eager for cheap third party software. I was surprised that an Aldi brand and a Philips subsidiary brand, totally unrelated, both had the same DVD/Photo/MP3 player software running.
